scientesbut computer science is a systemSep 17 04:14

schestowitzoutsiders noSep 17 04:15
scientesand those people, even if they say the right things, they rarely get itSep 17 04:15
schestowitzpeople will look elsewhere for guidanceSep 17 04:15
scientesthat's why Linus hates GTL3Sep 17 04:15
scientesbecause he is not RMSSep 17 04:15
scientesand AGPL is also quite unpopular (even with me), but RMS can push it crediblySep 17 04:16
schestowitzThey will look for "pragmatic" and "practical" personSep 17 04:16
kaniiniI'm salty about GPL3 because a lot of FUD was writtenSep 17 04:16
schestowitzlike Greg K-H for LinuxSep 17 04:16
kaniinibut anywaySep 17 04:16
scientesand he has plenty of veto with the Debian project effectively vetoing the documentation licenseSep 17 04:16
kaniiniFSF will be fineSep 17 04:16
scientesbut Linus really does dis-like GPL3, and while that is a honest position to takeSep 17 04:17
kaniinibut RMS torpedoed several GNU projectsSep 17 04:17
kaniiniwhich lead to things like MonoSep 17 04:17
scienteshe is not a technical guySep 17 04:17

schestowitzI am not sure what to think of FSF, so will be watching closely for weeks to come. They succumbed to bad media.Sep 17 04:18
scientesthat presume that I give a shit about other people sexuality besides my own, and that of my partnersSep 17 04:18
kaniinilargely because RMS torpedoed the projectsSep 17 04:19
scienteskaniini, they don't have enough technical competence for thatSep 17 04:19
schestowitzsad, sad...Sep 17 04:19
kaniinithey could have had if RMS did not torpedo thingsSep 17 04:19
schestowitzI think techrights will write a lot about thisSep 17 04:19
schestowitzI need to remove more typos nowSep 17 04:19
schestowitzassuming there are lots, I wrote with emotion, not patienceSep 17 04:20
kaniiniI'm just saying RMS was hardly a perfect leader for the FSF boardSep 17 04:20
kaniiniit's kind of bullshit that this is the straw but whateverSep 17 04:20

scientesI mean, the German court telling the anti-VMWare suit to go fuck itsself was pretty insultingSep 17 04:24

kaniiniand the answer isSep 17 04:25
kaniiniwe had to bootstrap everything ourselvesSep 17 04:25
kaniiniso why join GNUSep 17 04:25
scientesyeah there are no reasonsSep 17 04:25

mandyHello :-)  Heartbroken to read of Richard Stallman's resignation. So many thoughts, but all of them centre on the deliberate taking down of a man who has done no crime ... and that people in the Linux community deliberately were incendiary in this is disgusting. As you say, no heed of actual criminals (MS) at all. Sep 17 05:24

danielinuxRMS parting should be a golden opportunity for the community, and hopefully FSF, to move the battle on Copyleft from a religious to a political ground. Yes, RMS original ideas are what we fight for, but FSF seems to fail lately to realize the impact Copyleft would have on fair competition and public money in technology.Sep 17 07:17

The techrights.org story covers the details nicely, but also has a lot of anti-MS ranting that I feel does not have a place outside of the most devout linux hippie circles.
